Package: openafs-modules-source
Version: 1.4.14+dfsg-2
Severity: important
Hi, Russ!
The 2.6.38-1 kernel packages that recently hit unstable disable the
infamous big kernel lock, on which OpenAFS 1.4.x evidently still
relies; my build failed with
/usr/src/modass/usr_src/modules/openafs/src/libafs/MODLOAD-2.6.38-1-amd64-MP/osi_groups.c:393:
error: implicit declaration of function ‘lock_kernel’
/usr/src/modass/usr_src/modules/openafs/src/libafs/MODLOAD-2.6.38-1-amd64-MP/osi_groups.c:396:
error: implicit declaration of function ‘unlock_kernel’
and grep revealed a lot of other references to (un)lock_kernel. :-/
Under the circumstances, I'm inclined to suggest going ahead and
uploading the latest 1.6.0 release candidate to unstable. (FTR,
1.6.0~pre2-1 built successfully, though I have yet to try actually
running it.)
At any rate, thanks for all your work on OpenAFS (upstream and in
Debian), and in advance for looking into this issue.
